I Don’t Like Spiders And Snakes

I remember when Mary Lou said
You wanna walk me home from school
And I said, Yes, I do
She said, I don't have to go right home
And I'm the kind that likes to be alone
As long as you would
I said, Me, too

And so we took a stroll
Wound up down by the swimmin' hole
And she said, Do what you want to do
I got silly and I found a frog
In the water by a hollow log
And I shook it at her
And I said This frog's for you

She said, I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
You fool, you fool
I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I want to be loved by you

Well, I think of that girl from time to time
I call her up when I got a dime
I say, Hello, baby
She says, Ain't you cool
I say, Do you remember when
And would you like to get together again
She says, I'll see you after school

I was shy and so for a while
Most of my love was touch and smile
Til she said, Come on over here
I was nervous as you might guess
Still looking for somethin' to slip down her dress
And she said, Let's make it perfectly clear

She said, I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
You fool, you fool
I don't like spiders and snakes
And that ain't what it takes to love me
Like I want to be loved by you
